A poetry event, organised by the British Red Cross, will showcase the creative talents of local young people and celebrate the positive contribution that refugees bring to the Thames Valley Area on Thursday 20 June.

The British Red Cross charity shop in Buckingham Palace Road will be holding a series of events to coincide with Red Cross Week, the charity’s annual fundraising drive which takes place between 5 – 11 May.

A team of intrepid fundraisers from the British Red Cross will be tackling the highest peak in Wales next month. But not just once; the 12-person team will trek up and down the mountain as many times as they can within 24 hours - all to raise money for Red Cross Week (5 to 11 May), the charity’s annual fundraising drive.
